Top 10 Most Powerful Demigods in Percy Jackson

Welcome back to another video! Percy Jackson is filled with awesome demigods with really cool powers, so I thought it would be interesting to try ranking them by power. Today we rank the top ten most powerful demigods in Percy Jackson! Spoiler warning for all Riordanverse books! Hope you enjoy!!

Please note that the human body is 70% water, most of which is in the blood. This means Percy could potentially blood-bend

[mgawsmestevan]

What Percy showed in Tartarus is when he wants to, he can go just a dark as the rest of them. Percy can blood bend or possibly something more gruesome. Nico turning someone into a ghost was epic. Too bad it drained him completely and knocked him out. I fear if anything happens to Annabeth or Will, the world will have a real problem when they’re older.

I feel like every single demigod who is a descendant of the big 3 (Zeus poesiden and hades) can easily grow massively in power at any time, because they have so much raw power it’s hard for them to control, so when they get experience extreme emotions they can do feats that make them Seem godlike, (Nico literally turning someone into a ghost and Percy causing a volcanic eruption)

[StygianLake]

"As a daughter of Athena, she can think fast." That's an understatement.

[ayda]

its actually sad that Bianca died before really discovering her power

[krismcg]

I feel like Reyna definitely needs a place on this list. She traveled to Europe by herself, fighting monsters along the way. She could lend an entire legion her strength while fighting alongside them. She’s pretty fierce.

[LizA-fxoi]

I'd say Percy would come first place because water can heal him and give him strength, I don't think he gets tired by using water, in fact it gives him more power and he can control all liquids not only water, but Nico's shadow travel is energy consuming and makes him pass out if he over does it. Nico would be a close second to Percy

[nemasisdemarini]

I think in terms of raw versatility, Nico outclasses Percy by a bit, but in terms of raw combat capabilities, Percy outclasses Nico. I think the best way to see it, is that Nico is like a rogue, very dangerous, in the right circumstances, but mainly good for their ability to scout, maneuver in extreme places, and their ability to survive hardship through either completely avoiding it, or escaping it. Whereas Percy is more of a warrior/fighter. Good at scouting, maneuvering, and surviving, in the right circumstances, but far more likely to just outright kill the problem, than avoid or trick it.

I'm not sure how much I agree with the top two. Nico is extremely strong in his own right but like The Son of Neptune says, "Until that morning, her brother Nico had been the most powerful demigod she knew. The others at camp Jupiter saw him as a traveling oddball, about as harmless as the fauns. Hazel knew better. She hadn't grown up with Nico, hadn't even known him very long. But she knew Nico was more dangerous than Reyna, or Octavian, or maybe even Jason. Then she'd met Percy." This is at the start of chapter 5 on page 61. This may just be her opinion but Hazel knew them better than we do and it does show that Percy is ridiculously strong. I think that Percy is slightly stronger.

6:10 I agree but 2 reasons why I think Nico survived Tartaurus alone 1.) He is a child of Hades so this was just a more deadly version of his home turf 2.) he was captured by Gaea's forces keeping him alive. Even if Percy hadn't had Annabeth he would have survived would just be Dark Percy.

Reading through the comments everyone seems to be comparing percy and nico solely on the basis of strength and prowess.
I thought I would take a moment to remind everyone just how smart Percy really is. He is a clever leader and has even solved problems before Annabeth herself found an answer. In the Sea of monsters, he Iris messages Mr D to prove Chiron's innocence and in The Mark of Athena, he singlehandedly outsmarts a whole ship of pirates without using his combat prowess at all. Percy's power in extreme but like Hazel realised in the Son of Neptune, you should NEVER underestimate the cleverness of Percy.
In the Titan's Curse, 2 Hunters, Thalia and Grover struggled to kill the monster but it came down to Percy using his intelligence to win.
Literally in every book, Percy has time and again showed us that he can think far outside of the box when the situation arises.
I even remember him disintegrating one of his Blue giant half brothers who could heal any injury because his mom was Gaia, He defeated a monster with three hearts, A giant Crab by remembering its weakspot, the list just goes on.

Add to this he is a very inspirational leader and in the Son of Neptune he tells Frank that he realised Franks intentions to keep the vials of the gorgons was so that they could save the wounded. When in reality, Frank kept it for his own reasons. He is a quick thinker, a strong leader, compassionate and kind.

Just raw godly power doesn't define a character. How well they survive when all the odds are against them also matters in the true comparison.

Personally I feel Percy is the strongest character by a mile to Nico just because of his experience, his ability to outsmart his opponents and need I say it, the fact that he is the most powerful demigod in existence.

[ellaheald]

Percy is definitely the most powerful demigod he’s single handedly fought giants, titans, minor and major God’s and primordials (akylls) and won as well as crazy displays of power like Mount St. Helens. Nico never fought any of these or a powerful monster like the minotor or something I think the closest was lycaon but he’s done impressive things with his powers like the Athena parthenos and Bryce. I’d say he’s more on par with Jason and hazel who have both single handedly defeated a titan and giants. I think Percy would beat him considering nico has actually had more training for his powers. Minos taught him how to use them and he said he trained with the dead while Percy trained only three summers and had no one to teach him how to use his powers. Also nicos most powerful move is turning someone into a ghost but only if they have a low aura and almost dies and Bryce was only a legacy whilst Percy took control of a primordials domain and almost killed her. Both of these feats were done when they were both utterly exhausted yet Percy almost killed one of the eldest primordial whilst nico killed a legacy. Nico can only use that power on mortals or low level legacy whereas Percy can control bodily fluids ( tears maybe blood) of anyone even gods. Whilst nico is extremely powerful I’d say Percy’s on another level I mean he’s practically a god

[emmy]

it's also worth noting that Nico is still a year younger than Percy was by the time he really figured out his powers, so there could be a massive power upgrade in store for Nico in the solangelo book

[prodigy]

I honestly feel like there is potential on YouTube for a Percy Jackson channel. There is already a big audience but nobody making content on it. Definitely by the time the Disney show comes out, there will be more channels and it will be bigger than ever. Love your work man

[KungfuPanda-bxvp]

I think I agree. It's important to know that Percy isn't just known for being a powerful demigod, but he was also known to be an extremely skilled warrior with masterful expertise in melee-combat, particularly as a swordsman. I do think that Nico does outdo Percy by a bit in terms of raw power and versatility ability-wise, but I also believe Percy outdoes Nico in terms of combat prowess, and physical prowess, being much tougher, faster, stronger, and more nimble than he is. I would say they are more or less equal in terms of mental fortitude and willpower.

Percy's powers while definitely more destructive in nature than Nico's own abilities, the latter's powers are just too deadly and efficient. The man managed to turn a demigod into a ghost, while it of course required a bit of concentration he still managed to pull that off nonetheless. Any demigod who lets their guard down, will fall at the hands of Nico.

[aiko]

I agree with piper, it’s funny how many see her as weak🤣 Like charm speak is terrifying af

[hihio]

You forgot about something Percy took on the Giant that have the capability to kill Poseidon pretty much alone and beat him

[charlottechapin]

So could Percy control blood? Or ichor? I think ichor (sorry if I spelled it wrong) is a liquid. If so, Zeus you need to get your act together and show Persassy some respect.

[anniewei]

I feel like Hecate's children are also OP. Like Alabaster, he has Mystiokinesis, he is capable of performing powerful spells, he can inscribe runes of power on his clothes for protection, he crafted numerous enchantments for himself, including multiple defensive barriers around his place of residence, he can remove the spells from another person, he can track another person, he can control the Mist. He can also use the mist to create illusions, create false memories, hide locations, hide objects, influence mortal's minds and he can also teleport using the Mist. Lou also have pretty much similar powers as him, not to mention she literally turned legionnaires into piglets.

[prashanthpeddi]

Percy is the most powerful by far, he can create hurricanes, and he defeated a titan.
